Speaking of American pork, an
English writer says that much OF the
pork product which has been shipped
TO Europe has been simply concen-
trated maize, Il compound which does
not commend itself to the tastes OF
those who have had an opportunity OF
enjoying pork manufactured from mix,
oatmeal, wheat-mcal, pea-meal ana
potatoes. Bacon and ham made from
pigs fed on the latter foods are fit for
the gods.-St. LouiS Republican.
TO make apple marmalade, wipe
the apples well and do not pare, but
core and slice them. Have ready a
sirup of three pounds of sugar to u pint
of water, boiled quickly for five min
utes. Into this boiling sirup throw the
sliced apples and boil quite rapidly fol
an hour, reckoning from the time of its
first boiling up. Stir often. 1t should
then be clear, iellilcd and rather stiff.
Allow three pounds of sugar to foul

planned. and the robbers are sure Of =
big stake, every MEANS is put in use to

gives birth to the shrewdest combina-
tons. Not long ago a wealthy con-
tractor drew sixty-live thousand francs
from 4 bank, put il into a small hand-
satGhel, and got into \ carriage to he
driven to the Hotel de Vile. The car
riage had not gone three hundred feet
before the money was stolen. The
thing seemed incXplicahlc, but it had
been easy enough for the robbers. The
carriage had scarcely left the bank
when SEVERAL persons rushed into the
street and picked up Il man who was
screaming as if frightfully injured, 1t
was supposed that he had been run
over by an omnibus which had just
gone by at Il rapid pace. In appear
ance he seemed seriously wounded. In
reality he was not hurt at all, and Just
here was the mystery of the robbery,
The clever thieves had invented this
scheme TO attract attention, and thanks
to its success an accomplish of the
pretended wounded man had stolen
the satchel from the carriage while the
owner was leaning out of the window
to see what had happened"

Small, sprightly, dark skinned, they
slip into the crowds with great yiyacity.
Ii they are warned that Il detective is
near, they turn to him and try to en-
gage him in conversation. The French
women are skillful, but too much occu-
pied with the practical results of rob-
berry to succeed. They are always in
a hurry to ascertain the contents of
their stolen purses, and this often
leads to their capt"rc.

U-naccountabIe Actions Committed by

A very unaccountahle outrage is re-
corded OF Charles Matthews, He had
lived for some days a very restless and
inactive life. In this state of mind a
party Of gentlemen called upon him
and proposed a days excursion. My
husbands depressed spirits says Mrs.
Matthews, "were exhilarated by the
beauty of the weather and the prospect
of 4 days pleasure in the open air.
He had not ridden out Of the city for
some weeks, and was in Il state of
childish delight and excitement. At
this moment his eyes turned on one of
the party, q very little man, who was
pcrched on very tall horse, and who
seemed unusually grand and impor-
tant. Mr.. Matthews looked at him for
Il moment, and the next knocked him
of with a smart blow, telling him to

ORIGIN OF CORPORATIONS.


The Large Capital Required Prevents Sue
cess of Small Producers.
Machinery is row recognized as es-
sential to cheap production. Nobody
can produce effectively and economical
ly without II, and what was formerly
known as domestic manufacture is now
almost obsolete. But machinery is one
of the most expensive of all products,
and its extensive purchase and use re-
quire an amount Of capital far beyond
the capacity of the ordinary individual
to furnish. There are very few men in
the world possessed of an amount of
wealth sufficient to individually con-
struct and own an extensive line of rail
road or telegraph, a tirst-class steam
ship or a great factory. 1t is also to
be remembered that for carrying ON
production by the most modern
and effective methods large capital is
needed, not only for machinery, butal-
50 for the purchasing and carrying of
extensive stocks OF crude material and
finished products. Sugar can now be,
and generally is, refined ut Il profit OF
an eighth of accent II pound, and some
times as low rs a sixteenth; or, in
other words, from eight to sixteen
pounds of raw sugar must now be
treated in refining in order to make a
cent; from eight hundred to sixteen
hundred pounds to make a dollar, from
eighty thousand to one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds to make a hun
dred dollars, and SO on. The mere cap
ital requisite for providing and carry
ing the raw material necessary for the
successful prosecution of this business,
apart from all other conditions, place,
it, therefore, of necessity beyond thu
reach Of any ordinary capitalist or pro-
Queer. 1t has been before stated that,
in the manufacture of jewelry by ma.
chiuery, one boy can make up nine
thousand slceyc-buttons per day; foul
girls, also, working by modern methods
can put together in the same time
eight thousand collar-buttons. But t.
run an establishment with such facili
ties the manufacturer must keep con
stantly in stock thirty thousand dollars
worth of cut ornamental stones, and
stock of culsbuttons that represent
nine thousand different designs and pat
terms. Henccfrom such conditions hav,
grown up great corporations or stocl
companies, which are only forms of as
sociated capital organized for eiiectiy'
use and protection. They are regarde,
} to some extent rs evils; but they ar
necessary, as there is apparently II
other way in which the work of pre-
duetion and distribution, in accordanc
with the requirements of the age, ca
t he prosecuted. The rapidity, however
